# National Futsal Series

The FA National Futsal Series (NFS) is the highest-level English futsal league system, that runs the major futsal competitions in England for men and women. It was founded in 2019 by The FA.

## History

Following the launch of The FA first ever strategy for futsal "Fast Forward with Futsal" in 2018, The FA developed the National Futsal Series competitions to provide an opportunity to continue the transformation of futsal across England.
The FA National Futsal Series inaugural season was in 2019/2020. The 2019/2020 season started in September and continued to March. The season was not concluded due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the 22 September 2021, BT announced a new three-year agreement which will see seven weekends of the 2021/22 National Futsal Series Men’s Tier One and Women’s Super Series season shown live on BT Sport. This continued with the rebranding of BT Sport, with games during the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons shown live on TNT Sport.
